‘Cyberpunk 2077’ is an open-world adventure game released in 2020.
The game takes place in Night City, a megalopolis driven by power, glamour, and cyber augmentation.
Players control a mercenary outlaw called V as they search for a rare implant that’s the key to immortality.
Keanu Reeves features as Johny Silverhand, who accompanies V on their journey.
CD Projekt RED recently updated the game, adding the spy-thriller DLC ‘Phantom Liberty.’
It adds Hollywood star Idris Elba playing sleeper agent Solomon Reed.
The developers, known for their work on ‘The Witcher’ series of games, have already dabbled in Hollywood.
In 2022, the company teamed up with Netflix and delivered an original anime adaptation ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners,’ which acts as a prequel to ‘Cyberpunk 2077.’
‘Edgerunners’ was co-created by Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the ‘Cyberpunk’ universe, and series showrunner and executive producer Rafal Jaki.
‘Cyberpunk’ has also had a book called’ Cyberpunk 2077: No_Coincidence,’ written by Rafal Kosik, and the board game Gangs of Night City set in its world.
